I discovered this book while at a Saw Mill River Audubon event in Chappaqua NY. It was announced that Tina would be a guest speaker at the organizations Annual Dinner Sunday April 6, 2025 at Travelers Rest in Millwood NY. As I was listening to Tina’s Journey read by Tia Rider I was captivated by the story of how she and her colleagues worked to Return the majestic bald eagle back into the wild . I got emotionally welling up with tears as she spoke about returning decades later to where she did her summer research in the two summers in 1976 and 1977. I look forward to meeting Tina in person in April .

I had thought I had known everything there was to know about Lisa Marie and Elvis and this memoir is an eye opener. Hearing the story through the voices of Riley , Julia Roberts and hearing Lisa Marie's own voice in some of the audio clips were powerful. There is a letter that Riley wrote to Lisa that was read at Lisa's funeral by Riley's father Danny that summed up their relationship. After listening to her letter I called my own mother and tried to have a conversation with her about our relationship. If you think you know all there is to know listening to this memoir will leave you sad but hopeful. It is helping me to heal the relationship I have with my own Mom.

I grew up in the 1960's and 1970's being passed up from grade to grade not knowing I had a learning disability . I had trouble reading the printed word in books and not until I found out that Henry has dyslexia as well did I start to feel that someone out there knew how I was feeling. The Fonz was someone I grew up watching, There is so much more to Henry than Arthur Fonzerelli and Henry takes you on a journey that keeps you listening and not wanting to stop . Listening to Henry narrate his life story and his wife Stacey being a part of the Audible book as well kept me glued to the book. I listen to almost everything on Audible and I am recommending this book whole heartedly and thank you Henry for being the inspiration for me now that I didn't have growing up.

As soon as Last Call at the Local was released , January 2, 2024 I purchased the book and finished listening in two days. I couldn't stop listening and would listen everywhere. The car and at home. I love the talent of the narrators Karissa Vacker and Gary Furlong who make Sarah's characters come to life. Sarah's writing is brilliantly entertaining and as I listened I wound up finding myself routing for the characters . One needs to listen very closely at times and the story kept me on the edge of my seat. I have listened to Sarah's other two books and they are all unique. Thank you Sarah , Karissa and Gary for the entertainment.

I discovered Gary John Bishop in 2020. He tells it like it is and this book Grow Up is for anyone whether you are a parent or not. I love hearing Gary's voice and his message is always spot on. I am a parent of a 27 year old and thought I had blown it as a parent. Gary's message is reassuring and gives you something to think about. I will listen to this book again and green something different each time I listen.Thank you Gary for giving me the tools to to support my daughters move to her own apartment within the next year. I am more ready having listened to your book.

I have seen James Taylor perform live a couple of times at Jones Beach in NY and enjoyed his book very much. I loved the guitar playing sprinkled throughout the book. Learning about how the songs came to be created were especially helpful in understanding the background. Grateful to the hospitals and centers that helped James along the way. I hope to see James perform live again soon.

I loved every minute of the book. I received it on June 13, 2023 and just finished today. The narrators brought Fiona’s words to life. I was so enthralled. I couldn’t put it down and couldn’t stop listening. I must listen to brilliant as always. Thank you, Fiona.

I enjoyed listening to Alyson read her mothers memoir. Her story is one of bravery and courage and the people that hid her valiant and deserve the awards the received. I look forward to seeing Judith in a zoom service this Friday. I am grateful that they are survivors of the holocaust to tell their stories
